<p>I've taken 2 AP's in the past and I've always been an honors student.</p>

<p>It seems like you have a decent shot. Keep in mind that people who are accepted to Duke often have an SAT of 2100+. You have pretty good EC’s and classes also. Try to get that GPA higher. If you want I can tell you the stats of a girl who got in from my school last year.</p>
